The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 649 Great Writers from Goryeo

In southern Goryeo, Yuan Rong discussed with the merchants for a long time, and the merchants provided many suggestions. Soon after, Yuan Rong returned through Seoul and went to Ping'an Dusi, where he met Jiang Binzhi, the governor of Goryeo.

The guards at the Governor's Palace wear fur coats produced in Liaodong. The metal buckles on the fur coats are produced in Zhejiang Province, including the decorations on the coats. The lining sweaters are from seven western provinces. The cotton clothes under the coats are made of Yili lining. and cotton from the Western Provinces.

On his feet were boots made of yellow cowhide and top-grain leather provided by Sainan Province, and on his head was a thick felt hat made in Jinzhou with raw materials provided by Nurgan. The self-generated fire blunderbuss produced by military industrial enterprises and the bright blunderbuss blades emit a chilling cold light in the severe cold of spring.

In a row of bags on the armed belt, there were three grenades, paper-packed gunpowder, and a special bag for lead bullets.

Twenty guards stood on the street that had been cleared of heavy snow, on both sides of the street. In the middle was the gate of the Governor's Palace. The gate was fully opened. Jiang Binzhi and civil and military officials greeted Yuan Rong as he arrived.

The Governor's Mansion prepared hot pot for Yuan Rong and his party.

The climate in Pingan Road is very cold. Even though it is March, it is still a good weather for hot pot.

There are several tables dedicated to hot pot in the hall. A large hole is dug in the middle, and a large iron pot is installed. Wood is burned underneath. The hot pot contains spices from Bonidus, such as star anise, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, nard, ginger, etc. .

Venison, deer meat, rabbit meat, etc. were cut into pieces one after another and poured into the hot pot soup. They were cooked quickly and were dipped in the prepared seasonings. Everyone's face glowed red after eating.

All these materials and utensils were provided by restaurants run by Ming merchants, and they had prepared them yesterday.

The cooks and clerks in the hall were busy preparing exquisite food ingredients for the guests; Jiang Binzhi toasted Yuan Rong, and Yuan Rong stood up and reciprocated. The two drank it all in one gulp, each shining the bottom of their glass, and then burst into laughter.

On the second day of the reception banquet, Yuan Rong and Jiang Binzhi discussed the situation in Goryeo.

"Businessmen in the south are not willing to have the court control too much in southern Goryeo, but they also want to use the power of the court to make southern Goryeo more obedient." Yuan Rong said with disdain.

The businessmen provided a lot of suggestions, and Yuan Rong stated the essential requirements of the businessmen in a few words.

Jiang Binzhi said with a smile: "Birds die for food, and people die for wealth. Businessmen consider things based on their own interests. Isn't this the case for everyone in the world?"

Jiang Binzhi was not as angry as Yuan Rong, he thought it was normal.

If Zhu Gaochi were here, Gao Di would sigh a few words with Jiang Binzhi.

Human nature is complex.

The good lady used to have a good reputation, but when it comes to her own interests, she will also say words that disgust the general public from her own point of view, directly from cheering for her to disgusting her.

Because the general public also has their own interests.

What a good lady.

She does come from the general public, but she is no longer the general public. This is human nature. People's social status changes. The butt determines the stance, and the stance determines the thinking. This once again proves the truth.

Yuan Rong was not very satisfied with Jiang Binzhi's attitude.

As a nobleman, he went to Peking very early and followed Zhu Gaochi. In his eyes, the role of merchants must be based on the interests of the Ming Dynasty, so who represented the court.

Today, despite many reforms, Yuan Rong still feels that he is qualified to represent the imperial court.

Jiang Binzhi is not an ordinary person, he is a smart person. He worked hard all the way through the new school system and reached the pinnacle of the Imperial College. He interned at a local level, passed the competition, and went to Wenhua Hall, the political center of the world, to study. He came out of the clerk's room. Governor.

He can understand Yuan Rong's thinking very well, the thinking of these old-school people.

So Jiang Binzhi continued to smile and said: "His Royal Highness proposed walking on two legs. I think His Highness is too smart, because His Highness knows what things are inevitable and knows how to compromise. Being tough will not bring benefits."

Yuan Rong doesn't have a strong personality, so he listens carefully to Jiang Binzhi's ideas.

Jiang Binzhi explained: "In the process of resource allocation, the Ming court must maintain balance and fairness, and use the Ming Industrial Bureau system as the main control method."

The new statement aroused Yuan Rong's curiosity.

Jiang Binzhi is not an ordinary person.

A rising celebrity in the Ming Dynasty, he was recognized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who often praised Jiang Binzhi. At his age, it is not surprising that he would have a great chance of reaching the core of the imperial court in the future.

Yuan Rong also hopes to learn some new methods from Jiang Binzhi's ideas.

Jiang Binzhi continued: "It is not advisable to handle things too aggressively or too softly, because they will have a negative impact on our work. Although the Daming Industry Bureau cannot take into account all aspects, we must do our best to ensure that we do our best when allocating resources. Probably accurate and fair.”

"However, we must also realize that in the process of allocating resources, mistakes are inevitable. Individual mistakes are only personal problems, but mistakes by the Daming Industry Bureau may cause huge harm to the entire society."

"Therefore, we must take steps to prevent this error from happening."

"In order to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the regulation and distribution of social resources, we need fault tolerance. At the same time, in order to support the development of businessmen, we also need to incorporate their power into the supplement of social operations."

"Through the operations of businessmen, we can make up for the shortcomings of the Daming Industrial Bureau in resource allocation and ensure the normal operation of all aspects of society."

"Then we should actively support the development of businessmen without making mistakes. Only in this way can we jointly create a more just and prosperous society.

Yuan Rong thought for a long time, and Jiang Binzhi was not in a hurry.

One is the most trusted minister of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the other is the confidant governor trained by His Highness the Crown Prince, so Jiang Binzhi specially invited Yuan Rong to his study. In addition to showing goodwill, he also wanted to express his honest thoughts about the situation in Goryeo.

There are no interruptions from outsiders, and there are no records from the clerks. Many words that are inconvenient to be published can be said easily without any burden on anyone's heart.

"Medium."

Yuan Rong suddenly thought of what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often said, "Everything has its own limits, too much is too little, and harmony is the most precious thing."

"I think the demands of the merchants in southern Goryeo are not conducive to the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty and violate the purpose of the court. What do you think?" Yuan Rong asked.

"Agree to some of their conditions in exchange for their support of our demands."

"any request?"

"Control military power in southern Goryeo."

Jiang Binzhi said directly.

Yuan Rong thought for a while and understood Jiang Binzhi's thoughts. He couldn't help but sigh that His Highness the Crown Prince could recognize that this person indeed had two skills. He knew what was most important and gave first before asking for anything.

The two reached an agreement.

The power of the Ming merchants in Goryeo was too strong. The guards of each factory combined were already more powerful than Goryeo. Although the Ming Dynasty strengthened its garrison in Goryeo, the scale reached 6,000 people and two battalions. On the surface, The data is far inferior to that of the businessmen's factory protection team.

Of course, the data on paper is ultimately false. With the strength of the Ming army, there is no doubt that it can destroy all resistance forces.

But the gain outweighs the loss.

Neither the King of Goryeo nor Li Fangyuan's son supported the Ming merchants' use of force. They were allies that Jiang Binzhi and Yuan Rong could win over, coupled with Yuan Rong's negotiations with the merchants.

Within two months, the final memorial was sent back to China.

"Reorganization of the Goryeo Southern Army."

Zhu Gaochi had no objection after seeing it, and the court quickly approved it, and the matter was handed over to Yuan Rong.

At its peak, the size of the Goryeo Southern Army numbered 150,000 to 60,000. In the following years, the number dropped to just over 100,000. After the war between the rebels, the size was restored and maintained at around 80,000.

Based on the situation in southern Goryeo, such a high level of troops could no longer be supplied. The original mutiny due to lack of pay showed that the hidden crisis had reached an unstoppable level.

Now that Li Fangyuan, the control officer of the Goryeo Right Army, has died, the military leaders below and Li Fangyuan's eldest son cannot restrain them, and the local economy has been destroyed. Li Fangyuan's eldest son communicates with local officials to ensure that local food supplies continue as before. Supply control government has not achieved much results.

In addition to the fact that the local government is unable to supply, there is also the Youjun Controlling Mansion that has lost control of the local area, which is not justifiable. Based on the current situation of the Youjun Controlling Mansion, people think that the Youjun Controlling Mansion is in trouble.

The same as stocks, the more adverse news there is, the less supportive people will be.

In desperation, Li Fangyuan's eldest son, Li Zhen, agreed to the mediation of the Ming court and reorganized the Goryeo Southern Army through the Ming court, reducing the size of the army to 30,000, and stationing a battalion of Ming troops to protect the safety of the Right Army's Temperance Mansion.

In other words.

After handing over military power and gaining the protection of his family's glory and wealth, Li Zhen did not feel embarrassed. His uncle had done this for so many years, so he had no fear of being scolded.

Li Zhen thought of how his father often scolded his eldest brother during his lifetime, saying that he had betrayed Goryeo's interests.

Now Li Bao wanted to see Li Fanguo's face. I wonder if he was angry. Li Bao sneered and said that even if he annexed the southern part of Goryeo to the upper court, he would not let Li Fanguo take advantage.

The harm caused by a nation's internal strife is more than ten times greater than the harm caused by powerful external enemies.

Same country.

Five years ago, we were suppressed and beaten by a country. Five years later, under a unified situation, we can confront the whole world head-on. This is the power of unity.

Ming Dynasty in history.

A huge empire, due to internal strife, not only led to the destruction of its own country, but also the loss of the world.

Through the oppression and persuasion of Goryeo Governor Jiang Binzhi and Yuan Rong, Goryeo King Li Bangguo pinched his nose and named his nephew Li Chu as the King of Rangning. He also issued a royal order and finally agreed that Li Chu should inherit the position of the Right Army Controller.

The Goryeo Northern Army has perished, and part of it has been absorbed by the Ming Dynasty. There are only 10,000 Goryeo Central Army left, and it was already taken over by the Ming Dynasty. Now with the change of management of the Goryeo Southern Army, all Goryeo troops have fallen under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Overnight, under the propaganda of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo became a model for vassal states, calling on all vassal states to learn from Goryeo.

There is no most hip-pull, only more hip-pull.

The weakness of the interest class often does not lead to death. They will only think of ways to keep their own wealth, especially in the situation of going to court. The yangban class in Goryeo, especially the high-ranking ministers and those with high status in Goryeo. Xunchen, most of them are divided into families.

Some stayed in Goryeo to continue to be in power, and some were arranged to go to the Ming Dynasty.

Wealth and their children were sent to Ming Dynasty. Wealth gave their children the opportunity to study in Ming Dynasty, maintain their family's life in Ming Dynasty, and enter the upper class circle of Ming Dynasty.

The people in power who stayed in Goryeo were all thinking of ways to gain more benefits, and then transfer more benefits to the Ming Dynasty, so that their children would become closer to the upper class of the Ming Dynasty.

No elites care about the future of Goryeo, and no one cares about the common people of Goryeo.

When the news of the reorganization of the Southern Army spread, it also heralded that southern Goryeo became a feast for Ming merchants and Goryeo nobles, and the entire local agricultural ecology of southern Goryeo was destroyed.

On the contrary, there are two classes of people with small local influence and no power. They are unable to go to the Ming Dynasty and cannot resist the encroachment of new forces. For their own interests, they call on the people to protect their hometown and bring a lot of trouble to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. .

"The golden palace towers into the sky, and the jade steps reach up to the blue sky. The towers are covered with gold and jade, and the wealth and prosperity reflect the sun."

Beijing.

Domain Academy.

The Ming Dynasty's county schools, government schools, state schools, and Imperial College were a systematic promotion system, which only restricted the children of the Ming Dynasty. However, there were more and more children from the vassal countries, so vassal colleges were built. The feudal academy was actually of the nature of social studies, but because of the emphasis of the imperial court, people ignored this.

The feudal academy has a unique characteristic.

rich.

The students here were so generous that the people of the Ming Dynasty were astonished. Many people in the capital saw them the most and used them to understand the vassal countries, such as Goryeo.

In addition, newspapers had previously publicized that Goryeo refugees worked in the Railway Engineering Department and even received free medical treatment and medicine, which led some Ming people to think that Goryeo was very wealthy.

The restaurant outside the feudal academy is magnificently built.

In one word, the more expensive it is, the more customers it will have.

In a luxurious private room, several young students from Korea hosted a banquet for good friends and scholars from the Imperial College. At the banquet, several young students from Korea composed poems, which were praised by everyone.

"In a prosperous and prosperous year, there will be endless joy, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. They will have no worries about food and clothing, and their hearts will be comfortable. The country will be peaceful and the people will be happy."

"it is good."

"Good poetry."

People clapped their hands one after another, and Hong Deshou's face glowed because of the praise.

Hong Desu's father is Hong Xingshan.

Hong Xingshan's family lived in Hamgyeong Province in the former Goryeo Dynasty and is now the capital of Hamgyeong Province in the Ming Dynasty. His father was the defense envoy of Gyeongsang Province in southern Goryeo. Although his father was in the hands of rebels, the power of the Hong family was not weak.

In addition to his hometown's contribution to assisting the Ming Dynasty, his father's influence on the Southern Army in the south has become what the Ming Dynasty needs.

Because Hong Deshou was good at writing poems, he not only gained a good reputation in school, he even published his poems in newspapers and became a famous poet in the Ming Dynasty.

There were many people like Hong Deshou. Many Koreans published their poems and articles in the Ming Dynasty and became famous literati.

Among these wealthy children, there are indeed some talented people who can write because of their base number.

The Governor of Goryeo wanted to establish seven government schools in Goryeo.

Railways were built throughout Goryeo.

"The world of great prosperity."

"Our country today has so many great writers, which is unprecedented. It shows that we are on the right path, and we can expect a bright future." Hong Deshou imitated the reading club that arose in the Imperial College in Peking. He also founded a reading club at the Domain Academy.

Most of them are Koreans, a small number are Japanese and Nanyang people, and there are also descendants of the vassal states in the seven western provinces.

Hong Deshou and his classmates returned drunk.

Even the carriages of the Hong Mansion are inlaid with gold. Someone has counted the Hong Mansion. They have obtained at least 100,000 gold in Goryeo through selling rights, land, etc. This is real money.

Even with the high military pay of Ming soldiers, they had to go without food or drink for more than 3,300 years.

With this huge sum of money, the Hong family could be prosperous in Ming Dynasty for several generations.

The people of the Ming Dynasty knew that the people of the foreign vassals were wealthy. Although they did not know where the foreign vassals made their money, even among the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, not many could take out one hundred thousand taels of real gold and silver in one go.

A vassal culture has achieved a certain status in the Ming Dynasty, especially in terms of poetry and articles. Even Zhu Gaochi had to admit that the cultivation of literature did require economic cultivation.

Otherwise, how could people who don't have enough to eat have the leisure to study this stuff?

Hong Mansion has hundreds of slaves brought from Goryeo.

They were generous and friendly to people. Every Ming Dynasty person who came into contact with them praised the Hong Mansion for its benevolence, justice and morality. In order to entertain the Ming Dynasty people, the Hong Mansion generously gave away their servants to each other.

People of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to have slaves, but these people were not people of the Ming Dynasty.

More than half of Goryeo's southern army was cut off, leaving only the strong and strong. The remaining sergeants were given a rare severance package and allowed to go back to their hometowns to fend for themselves.

On the land of Goryeo, it is difficult to see homesteaders, and even the original landowners are rarely seen. They are replaced by estates.

They looked at their hometown in confusion.

As a result of years of poverty and hunger, most of their family members have disappeared. Some people have embarked on the road to find their families, some have become beggars, and some have become bandits.

The bandits in Goryeo are exterminated, causing the local economy to deteriorate even more. Only a powerful force like the Daming Trading Company can prevent the bandits from Goryeo from offending at will.

Smart businessmen even discovered the benefits.

They gave the Goryeo bandits a certain amount of money and gained the security of the trade routes. Due to transportation obstacles, small trading houses in those places went bankrupt and closed on a large scale, and in the end they took advantage of the big trading companies.

There are bandits everywhere and refugees everywhere.

However, there were more and more great literati in Goryeo, and they produced articles and poems that even won the Ming Dynasty's Cultural Award.

Faced with internal and external troubles, the King of Goryeo had no choice but to agree to the increasingly exorbitant demands of the Governor of Goryeo. Not only was he exempted from collecting taxes from the Ming Dynasty merchants, he even promulgated a law. The Ming Dynasty people in Goryeo could only It can be governed by the Governor of Goryeo.

After the reorganization of the Southern Army was completed, the military salaries of the Central Army and the Korean Army still needed to be provided by the King of Goryeo and the Imperial Government of the Southern Army respectively.

The Governor of Korea delivered a speech in the Ming Dynasty Beijing News.

"Koryeo's total commercial trade volume increased from less than 10 million yuan in the first year of Yongle to 150 million yuan in the 13th year of Yongle. The per capita increase was more than ten times, and it was an unprecedented success."

The words of the Governor of Korea shocked the world.

The prosperity and prosperity of Goryeo left many people stunned.

What is the concept of 150 million yuan? Selling the entire Japanese country is not worth so much money. The power brought by industrial production has once again become the focus of everyone's attention.

"tear."

Nanyang.

Polondoraja, who was in his fifties, tore up the newspapers brought by Ming merchants.

The faces of Ming merchants were earth-colored.

Porondaraja was an unpredictable person.

Sometimes he is very kind, sometimes he turns against you, and sometimes he suddenly smiles at you and extends a friendly hand. Such a changeable person gives people a headache and they don't know how to deal with him.

Polondoraja sneered at the remarks in the newspaper, but there were not many smart people like him. Many people were deceived by the Ming Dynasty, but Polondoraja was not a fool.

He visited the Ming Dynasty many times, arranged many people to go to the Ming Dynasty as envoys, and was no stranger to Goryeo.

"Polondemo."

"exist."

In the earth building, the middle-aged leader in his early forties heard his name and quickly stepped forward, waiting for the leader's explanation.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are too cunning. Look, too many people have been deceived by them. I have decided to ban the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty from flowing into our Siam." Polondoraja said coldly.

After Polondemo thought for a moment, he couldn't help but remind him, "The kingdom may punish us."

Porondaraja shook his head.

There was some information that he did not fully disclose to his subordinates.

Ming Dynasty is too powerful, so powerful that many people do not have the courage to face Ming Dynasty. Sometimes, deceiving his subordinates is also a strategy.

"The Ming Emperor is coming back."

"what?"

Brondremo's face was filled with shock. Hearing the news for the first time, there was fear on his face.

When Emperor Ming came to Nanyang for the first time, he regained Jiaozhi and annexed the Kingdom of Champa. So what did Emperor Ming mean when he came for the second time? Bolongdaimo had to worry.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of his most powerful men, Bolondaraja couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Since when did everyone start talking about the Ming Dynasty?

The power of industrialization.

Polondoraja recited this word again. He was in great pain. Over the years, he had exhausted all means, but the results were not great. Compared with the development speed of the Ming Dynasty, Siam was as slow as an old man.

There are also kings from the northern region.

Polondoraja suddenly had an idea, if he defeated the king and left Siam without a king, would Siam develop better.

Precisely because the king compromised with the Ming Dynasty many times for his own interests, it brought too much resistance to Polondoraja.

He attracted businessmen from the Ming Dynasty to build factories on his territory, and tried hard to let his people learn from the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to build factories. Over the years, there were certain results. However, with the king's decree and free trade, his factory was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. The merchants were defeated and no one could compete with the Ming Dynasty merchants.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty made countless wealth in their own territory, but these wealth were transported back to their country without leaving any benefit to themselves.

wrong.

Polondoraja suddenly frowned and couldn't help but look at the golden self-ringing clock on the side. It was so exquisite and extravagant. It was handmade by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty and used a lot of gold.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty paid a lot of tribute to themselves, but that was not what they wanted.

"Polondemo, my bravest warrior, you know what we will face next, do you have the courage?"

a long time.

Brondremore nodded.
